restrictions III - soulmates until tomorrow

people speak softly in to their palms,
and every voice sounds like yours.
standing in line for the morning cup of tea,
someone walks by, wearing your perfume.
i look around and realise
everyone is walking around
with a piece of you.

forgive me
if my black tongue curses 
every eye that looks at you;
if my hands beg to destroy
every soul that dares laugh with you;
if my heart vows 
to burn every finger that dares to touch you. 

but why talk of jealousy?
we already know
that you do not love me
and i am not jealous
